^tralght have now been won by the Stogies, which is quite a record, when stop to consider that they can |e hardly better their position in the race. It Manager Arch Reilly has put a new spirit into the team, with the result that Youngstown, which has hitherto been one of the most feared teams in te league, has proven no match for the

AV est Virginians.

If Evansville still clings to the top of xhe ladder, and although Punch Knoll's men are plugging away in a consistent

I fashion, Grand Rapids is not very far in the distance, .03, to be exact. But two more series on the home grounds are left for the Evas, while Grand Rapids plays all of its games at home, which may be a slight advantage, after the Terre Haute series. YoungBtown scarcely* seems to have a chance, even •v-3-1 the first two teams -should collapse, .' which is hardly a chance.

Terre Haute and Fort Wayne still have to decide the.struggle for the last place In the first division, with the od&s slightly on the Highlanders.—Dayton News.

PITTSBURGH, Aug., 15.—It is not al ways the high priced ball player that delivers the goods in the major leagues. A few years ago Barney Dreyfuss, owner of the Pirates, signed his name to a check calling for $22,500 and payable to the owner of the St. Paul club of the American association for Marty O'Toole, who was then setting the American association on fire by his wonderful pitching.

From the start O'Toole proved a failure and was called the "$22,500 lemon." His spit-ball, which proved such a terror to the players In the American association, was no puzzle to the batters irr the National league, and he got bumped hard and often. Last year O'Toole was sold to the Giants. Now he is having his own troubles to win games in the American association, from which the Pirates got him.

One day last year Dreyfuss walked into his office in Pittsburgh and began opening his mail. Dreyfuss had his net spread for minor league players to build up his team, but was not sweet on paying any more high prices for players of O'Toole's type. One of the letters that Dreyfuss opened was from a Pittsburgh man, an admirer of Manager Clarke and the Pirates.

The writer of the letter said he was

McLafferty Day Success

The "McLafferty day" celebration at Athletic park yesterday afternoon proved a success in every way, although the inclement weather cut down the crowd. A neat sum was realized for Mark McLafferty, the popular Highlander who has been out of the game for weeks owing to a broken leg sustained in a game at Dayton, O., and with the amount raised among the members of the clan should tide him over until he is able to accept emploympnt.

McLafferty did not make the trip from his home at Butler, Pa., as expected and his absence was the only disappointing feature of the benefit event. The affair staged between the Highlanders and the pickedr City league outfit was a comedy from start to finish .and was thoroughly enjoyed,

ALBERT MAMAUX.

ooe«/'

the grandfather of a Pittsburgh boy who had made a great record on the sand lots of Pittsburgh, and was deserving of a try out with the Pirates. Would Fred Clarke give the youngster an opportunity to show his wares in the big league? he asked.

Tiie youngster was told to report to Clarke, but failed to Impress the manager at the start and was .turned over to a minor league team for develop ment. He was taken south by the Pirates this spring, and today $25,000 could not buy him. His name is Albert Mamaux, and he is known wherever the great, nattlonal game is played. He didn't cost Dreyfuss a cent, unless the owner of the Pirates sent something to Mamaux's granfather for recommending the young star to the Pittsburgh club.

Mamaux today is rated in the class of Alexander and Johnson. His admirers in Pittsburgh claim he Is even greater than either of these two stars, as this is fiis first year In fast company, while both Alexander And Johnson have been pitching there a number of years. Mamaux's pitching this year has kept the Pittsburghs within striking distance of the leaders, and according to Clarke, with another pitcher of Mamaux's caliber Pittsburgh would win the pennapt.

while the pitching of Miss Kermlt Cockran, of Lewis, Ind., made a distinct hit. The little miss from Lewis, who is no larger than a minute, displayed marked ability for a girl and snould make any "Bloomer Girls" clyto In the world. Miss Cockran showed "Lefty" Gilbert a curve ball that nvade him en.vious, while her fast one proved puzzling.

The umpiring of Webb Beggs and Otto Jensen was excellent, that is, if you don't care what you say, and the two had the athletes on their toes from taw to windup. True, there were 15 or 20 near-fights over decisions, but, everything considered, the indicator handlers got by In great shape.

As far as could be determined, the City league aggregation scored eight runs to the Highlanders' seven. Now this count may not be correct as the athletes ran bases to suit themselves, but it's as good as any and goes.

'"Lefty' Gilbert hps his club going mighty nice," said President Bill Essick, of the Baiders, this morning, "and we expect to have to fight every Inch of the way for victory. Gillie has accomplished much with his outfit and I look for him to finish in the first division, even though his club Is booked to play nine tough games on the final road trip. My men realise the class of the Terre Haute club and expect to have to battle early and late for success. The Highlanders started the Steelmen slipping and played havoc with the leading Evas and we are going to do our level best to keep Gilbert's club from putting a crimp in our pennant chances."

Neither side scored In the first two Innings, but In the third Patberg singled for the Number Threes and managed to score on a series of errors. In the fourth, the Tens succeeded In filling the bases without an out, but Boston drove a hot liner over first, which Crane grabbed, touched out the man at first and then threw to second where the third man was retired, completing the first triple pl.ay that has been pulled on the Normal diamond in years.

In the next half. Crane singled for the Threes. Craecllus took first on an error and both scored on Andrew's twobase drive. Andrews, in turn, scored on Fately's single. Williams singled in the fifth and was brought In by Crane's home run over the center field fence. Craedlus and Andrews also reached bases and second on a series of blunders. In the sixth Williams again reached first and second on errors, while In the seventh, Patberg got a two-base hit and scored on McCarty's single.
